((Was going to go a bit further, but that would involve Rookie and at that point it wouldn't feel right to disclude Phaing and it had already been so long without a post...))
Elizabeth trailed into the small clearing slightly behind Phaing.
Phaing wrote:She glances at Elizabeth, and comments wryly; "I guess that noise isn't an issue in this camp."
"Several miles from the town by now, wolves didn't chase us. If we move in the morning we shouldn't have to worry about them finding us again soon." Elizabeth responded, though she was aware it wasn't a question.
She started towards the Basitin to check his wound when the foreigner started talking about the arrow, which had Eliza spin on her heel and snatch the arrow away from the snow leopard.
"H-Hey!.. "
Judah said, flustered by the sudden gesture, but then he turned curious at what she's thinking
Elizabeth hummed as she inspected the arrowhead. She recognized it, though it wasn't something she encountered often. After a moment she handed the arrow back to the leopard and went to the merchant's cart, where she began rummaging around for a few specific items.
Judah awkwardly accepts the arrow back
"uhm.. do you recognize it?" he asked to the stranger
"Yes," Eliza responded vaguely.
Judah frowned a bit and was about to ask in detail but the stranger had already gotten herself busy with the wagon
"Hey.. hey! HEY!!" This time it's Percy who shouted at her, dropping whatever he was previously fixated with and standing up in protest upon seeing her actions
"What are you doing..Careful with the- those are expensive!!"
he yelled, angry that his precious commodities are being messed with
She ignored him for a few moments, focused on her rummaging. She was being careful, though. Nothing was left in much less disarray than it had already been.
She turned to the old man suddenly.
"Medicinal Herbs?" She asked.
percy stops in his track and stood with a sharp gaze towards her
"What for."
he lifts his head and straightened his robe, reluctantly answering the stranger
Elizabeth gave the old man a withering stare, holding it for just long enough to make most people uncomfortable, then shifted her attention to the snow leopard.
Percy indeed feels the animosity directed towards him, but this isn't the first time he has received that look from multiple 'angry customers' so he just turns his attention away, avoding her gaze.
Judah walks over to the girl
"is someone injured? other than that man there" he asked, while pointing at john.
"No," She paused and corrected herself.
"Yes. In a manner of speaking. Not important yet." Eliza grabbed some scrap cloth and set it aside, continuing her search of the cart.
This has Judah confused, by before he could think any further,
The stranger spoke again.
"I know some herbs that can help the basitin. Don't know their names, but I know what they look like. Do you have herbs or not?" She directed the question at the snow leopard, who was by far the more tolerable of the merchant pair. She half expected the old man to butt in, though.
"Uh-mm... I think we do(?) If I recall correctly we brought a few medicinal herbs in our cargo, perhaps over those tarps there" he pointed towards what seems like the shape of a few crates of box poking out of some intricate looking fabrics draped over it inside the wagon
"They're mostly for light wounds and nothing like what he's dealing with" he looked over at John before turning back to the stranger.
Elizabeth nods and moves to that side of the cart, moving the tarp aside and opening the box.
"There was a potion for it.. bu-"
Guy says he doesn't need it
Percy interrupted Judah, although that was what the snow leopard was about to mention anyway.
She glanced over her shoulder at the remark, raising an eyebrow but not saying anything.
Inside the box was, well, herbs. Some medicinal, some for cooking. If you didn't know what you were looking for it was hard to tell the difference, and usually couldn't do any harm if you got them mixed up. Of course, Parsley wasn't going to help a burn wound, and Comfrey probably wouldn't taste very good.
Eliza rifled through them carefully, until she came across two bundles of exactly what she was looking for. Wasting no time- Despite the lack of urgency in the situation- She snatched them up, closed the box, and retrieved the cloth scraps she had previously set aside before going to the Basitin.
